The mechanisms responsible for the drain current droop in GaAs MESFETs are discussed and their relative contributions evaluated. Contrary to a common belief that the cause is mainly self-heating, it is shown on the example of a power MESFET that deep level effects (surface states and bulk traps) have a higher contribution.
